Column Width
Feb 14, 2005
Hi Every1, I'm getting this error.
'Cannot specify a column width on data type smalldatetime.'
I'm using SQL Server & I've check the data type in the db & it's same as smalldatetime.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Is there a maximum width for fixed width column?
I'm trying to read in a flat file (which, admittedly, has one very wide column), and it keeps breaking because of truncation when it tries to read in the file.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I am trying to create a program that transfers tables to flat files.
At this point in time, I have suceeded in created one that creates delimited files.
However, I am now trying to create fixed-width files as you can do with the SSIS designer, but programatically.
Is there a way to programatically determine the width of a column from the source table? I can not seem to find any kind of function or member that stores this information or allows me to retrieve it.
I know what I need to change in order to set a width for a column, but I just don't know how to find the width without just asking the user to provide one.

Is there a way to change the width of the bars in a bar chart?
I know that there is an option to 'Plot the data as line', but for some reason this is greyed out.
Any ideas on both?

I have been looking over the forums looking for answers to the question that nails us all: how do you dynamically resize column widths? MS says: you don't. However, I have heard many people say they have found ways around it. I wonder if anyone might share those with me (and everyone else). Share the wisdom you have gained with those less experienced!

I have like 100 columns and most of them work fine, but some will not work. I need to select the columns with correct width for fixed width flat file.
Here is typical SQL statment that works for most of them.
left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate(' ', 25) ,25) as [City]
The above one is not working, but many other works fine like the address. Why would it work for some, but not others?
It works fine if I use any char, but not space. i.e.
left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate('*', 25) ,25) as [City]

I know we could change the data type or width of a table column in SQl 7 database, but I am not certain if this column is a primary key. Can we change a primary key column width? If we can, how about this column as a foreign key in another table? Will it be automatically updated to the same width? Thanks in advance for your input.

Hello,
We are generating RDL file on the fly using a XSLT. We are trying to implement an auto width to all the columns dislpayed in the Report. Is Automatic horizontal width for column supported in RDL? If so how? If not is there is any workaround for it?
We tried using CanGrow and CanShrink tags, but those are for only vertical.
Thanks in advance.

I have a subreport on my main report, and the subreport contains a matrix. When I run the report, the subreport seems to expand beyond the width of the main report. The matrix itself does not expand beyond the width of the body of the main report, but for some reason it seems that the subreport does. The subreport does not contain any headers that might be messing up the width. If I cut and paste the matrix from the subreport directly onto the main report, and remove the subreport, it prints fine. But as soon as I include the subreport on the main report it prints with blank pages because the subreport expands beyond the width of the body of the main report. I have checked the width and margins on the subreport and compared to the width of the main report and all looks good. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Is there a way by which we can modify the width of a column of a table which is being replicated without touching the ongoing transactional replication? This is for MSSQL2000 Transactional Replication.
I know (and successfully tried) that we can add a column to a table and that gets propaged to the replicate database and indeed the added column gets reflected there. How to add a column? sp_repaddcolumn or Right Click on the Publication-Properties and it shows a button to Add a Column.
This is what I have tried for modifying the width of a column of a table participating in Transactional Replication from varchar(10) to varchar(100)
MH (source) -> MH1 (Replicate)
The column “col1” had width of varchar(10) and this was altered to varchar(100).
insert into MH..test_mh values(4,'abcdeabcdefff')
select * from MH1..test_mh
exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2', @destination_db = N'MH1'
go
exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh'
go
alter table test_mh alter column col2 varchar(100) null OR
MH1..sp_help test_mh
exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @source_table = N'test_mh'
go
exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2' , @destination_db = N'MH1'
go
Needless to say, help would be apreciated -:)

However, adding a column was possible.

I have a report that has a certain number of columns that are hidden and when hidden they leave a lot of white space. Is there a way to detect when they are hidden and set the width property to 0 and then reverse the value when they are visible?

Dear all hi,
I would like to create a function that will return to me the width of the column of the table without giving as a parameter the table name. I need it, as I want to exceed my data in this column to the column length. I want to fill the column data with trailing blanks until I reach the column width. The function len returns the length of the data in the column.
I know that If I have the table name I can find the column width through the system tables. I don€™t want this.
Sincerely,
Hellen

Hi,
I am facing issue with the auto fit width. When i am creating a report which includes table. The table column length should get adjusted to the text size displayed in it instead of displaying the text in 2 lines. But i dont find any way to set that option. Could anyone let me know how to set the column length as per the text displayed in the column in table.
Thanks

Will the width property of a column be able to be set at run-time (i.e. ability to set the width of a column to an expression) in SQL Reporting Services 2008? One problem I have seen is the inability to set the width of columns in a report when you you have several columns whose order is determined based on parameters.
Â
Lets say I have 2 columns in a report and two fields from the database which will populate those columns: 1 field that is varchar(5) and one which is varchar(50). If I do not know which column each field will go to until runtime how am I supposed to adjust the column width? Letting the column width be set by an expression would solve everything as I could pass the width in to the report. As it stands now, I would have to set each column's width to accomodate a field of type varchar(50) in order to avoid wrapping of data.
Â
You could say just create 2 reports, one for each case, but what if I had 15 fields? 20?how to dynamically set the width of a column? Will the width of a column be able to be set at run-time in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 via expression or some other means?

Hi,
I've a report projects where each report has a number of columns and the spec is to have all the columns print-out on the same page. Is there a setting that will auto-scale these columns to fit to the page or will I have to edit the font size and widths manually on each report to fit to the page?
Thanks for any comments.

This one has set me back many, many hours on this project; it's about got me ready to dump SSIS & just roll a custom .NET solution in C#.
I need to create import packages for quite a few very wide flat files (130 - 180+ columns, not my design). Many of these columns have data > 50 characters long.
I change column widths on the data flow source using the Advanced Editor, via Input and Output Properties ==> Flat File Source Output ==> External Columns.
About 50% of the time, the changes vanish after clicking OK to dismiss the Advanced Editor. There is no warning message or output announcing that the editor failed to persist its changes, or that it set some columns' properties back to the defaults, or why. The column's widths just silently revert back to 50.
If the cause and resolution aren't known, does anyone know of a way to accomplish any of the following workarounds?
Create a data source connection by importing an external text schema defining the flat file's column names, data types and sizes, or
Change a property on multiple source columns en-masse, or...
Get at a text version of the file containing the Data Flow Component's definition, so we can edit wide import schemas without racking up thousands of mouse-clicks?Thanks! A virtual cheeseburger to anyone with answers.

How do i import a Varying Column Width Flat file into a Table using SSIS?
I have a flat file that has 4 columns with varying width
Like I should read the file as
Col 1 - (1 to 10 Characters)
Col 2 - (12 to 21 Characters)
Col 3 - (22 to 35 Characters)
Col 4 - (36 to 38 Characters)
At the end of the record is a "LF"
I think "Fixed Width" Columns allow me to define a standard column length for all the columns.. Right?
Any thoughts on how to?

I have 2 higher level column groupings of month name and year above my actual date groups. It looks a little weird aligning them left but there is no guarantee that centering them will even allow them to show until I've scrolled right to the middle of the cell width that they occupy.
Is there a feature that comes with, or a well known trick for making them center in the area that is being viewed instead of the potentially very wide cell that they occupy?

Hi, everyone
There is a table t1 with two fields, such as,
ID NAME
１ Ｔｏｋｙｏ
2 Xian
3 America
For there are full-width and half-width strings in the values of the two fields, I can not select and get the right records. So I want to transform the two fields ID and NAME, I fail to find the function in the SQL Server 2005. Please give me some advice.
Thank you very much!

I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

Hello,
How can I change the width of my comboboxes etc in SQL Enterprise Manager ?
I can't see which table I'm supposed to be updating and it's causing me huge problems.
(basically my fields are called things like Staging_EmployeeDetails etc)
I'm on a 17" monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 so this shouldn't be an issue, and all screens are maximized.
I've tried dragging the corners of the window, but it doesn't seem to let me.
As an example, I'm in the export wizard and I can't tell which rowto use when I query the data (See screenshot)

I'm not very familiar with sql server 2005, and am trying to create some reports for the first time. I created 4 fairly basic reports. Three of them work just fine. The fourth one is giving me fits. When I look at it in Visual Studio, it previews just fine - generates the correct data and everything. When I deploy it to report services, however, it gets squashed sideways, so that it is about three times too narrow. I've looked at both the body properties and the report properties, and they all appear ok when compared to the other three reports. The body width is set to 8.9 inches, and the report page size and interactive size properties are set to 8.6 inches.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or am I going to have to start from scratch?
Thanks in advance...

Folks,
We have some reports that have optional columns. We have them working very nicely, with the column showing or hiding based on values in the report -- works great.
Except -- when the columns are present, the report spans onto two pages, when exported to PDF, in width. That's understandable, as there's a lot of extra data, and exactly what we want. However, when the columns are not present, we get empty pages instead, because the report doesn't automatically contract back onto the size that fits on one page.
Changing the report to a Matrix won't work, as the hidden columns on some of these come as sets of three, where each column in the three has different formatting (different widths, format codes, etc).
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a matrix object in a report that sometimes runs off the side of the page based on the underlying data. Essentially if there are more than 11 columns it stretches out my page.
How can I fix this? Ideally, I would like to show only the Top 11 results but cannot seem to figure out how (or where, or on what data element) to properly set a filter.
Thanks.
